So some of you may know about my two week challenge, if not here it is in a nutshell, I have decided not to eat meat for two weeks, starting four days ago. If you would like more details check out my earlier post My Two Week Challenge.
When I started this self imposed challenge I had no idea that I really wouldn't be that hard. I thought that eating vegetarian food in a college cafeteria would be a difficult task, but so far it hasn't been. It really has been quite simple to avoid meat, but am looking forward to eating it again. I have found it quite interesting that even though none you you will actually know if I ate meat, and therefore if I wanted to I could, that I haven't. I am proud of myself that I have so far been able to keep this promise, and hope to keep it for the next week and a half.
I also decided to track all of the food that I was eating to prove, if any questions arose, that I hadn't eaten meat. So this is a list of all the food I have eaten in the past four days.

I will likely give another update on Sunday night.
Your menu sounds yummy and easy to eat. Maybe for your next challenge you should try vegan.
I don't know if I could do that, no dairy, eggs, honey, or chocolate (I don't think vegans can eat chocolate because it has milk in it, correct me if I'm wrong). I thought about doing that as a challenge, but don't know if my cafeteria has enough variety to keep me going for two weeks. I will think about it though, and who knows, maybe I will try it out.
